Some of the things that we found exceptional about Corner Bakery Cafe are the breadth of the menu, operational excellence, best-in-class catering program, locally inspired neighborhood locations and their great unit-level economics. Corner Bakery Cafe to us is synonymous with community and healthy living through their family-friendly neighborhood locations and fresh, made-to-order, ingredient-inspired menu. It’s an opportunity for us to offer Oklahomans a place to gather as friends and family. It will also add 250 jobs to the local economy over the next few years."

Ben EramyaOwner and OperatorFEAST Foods, LLC

Corner Bakery Cafe has a clear understanding of their brand vision, which is consistently demonstrated by the way they bring to life their core values in everyday business. I am in absolute love with the food and the diverse menu options Corner Bakery Cafe offers. The leadership team has a great understanding of how dynamic, quality food is important to attracting guests to the brand. And the leadership team clearly has an understanding of how important it is to involve and embrace its franchisees in efforts toward bringing their brand vision to life, which will surely enable the brand to remain relevant in the guests’ eyes forever."
